Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented June 4. 1907.

Application filed November 2,19q4. senate. 2311.134,

' To all whom it may concern: I

Be" it known that we, J AMES EnwARD BRoAnBENTand JosEPn BROADBENT, subects of the King of Great Britain and Ireland,

and both residing at Phoenix Iron Works,

Staleybridge, in the coun y of Chester, England, have mventednew and useful Improvements in or Applicable to \Vinding-Hachines,

. section on line A'A, of 2, of a winding machine 'in which our rated. I I

In these drawings the same letters refer to like parts. 4

According to and for the purpose of our said invention we mount in a frame as a two screws b and c at a little distance apart and invention is incorpoparallel to each other which are formed preferably with square threads. Said screws may be either both right or both left hand. A tooth wheel is fitted on one and the same end of each scr'ew said tooth wheels d and d gearinginto each other so that the screws are rotated in 'reversedirections. We fit on a rod 6 placed centrally between but above and parallel with said screws a rocking bar f extending at a right angle on each side of the rod over the screws hereinbefore named, and secure to the under side of and near to each end of said bar a projection immediately above the axis of each screw arranged so that the projection j-may fit between the threads of the screw b, and the projection y" may fit between the threads of the screw 0 the aforesaid rocking bar being so arranged that when one projection is. engaging with a screw the other is disengaged. A nut segment having threads correspondingto the threads ofthe screws might be used instead of thebowls.

a At the outside of each screw a short flat topped angular bar as g is fixed, the length of said bars being regulated according to length of thebobbin to be wound; a smallv fiat or"beveled'finger f isformed or fitted 3 on each end of the aforesaid recking bar f, one of said fingers sliding under the flange forming the top of one ofthe side angular bars, when the rocking bar is moved along by one of the projections engaging one of the screws on the same side, and the other finger sliding on the top of the other angular bar. At a little distance from one "end of each of the aforesaid angular bars but in opposite positions small inclined planes Z Z are fitted, and at the opposite endaf each of these bars a compression spring fitted also in opposite positions. Motioniis trans- .initted to a pulley as g fitted on the endof one of the aforesaid screws on which the tooth wheels are fitted as hereinbefore described which causes the screws to rotate in opposite directions: One of the projections that is fixed under the rocking baris caused to engagewith one .of the screws by the flat finger on the same end of the rocking bar being pressed down. at the commencement of the stroke by one of the aforesaid springs,

so as to come under the flange of the angular side bar g, and when at the end of the stroke it is released from said flange it mounts one of thesmall inclines Z or Z and causes the other flat finger to be depressed -and the other projection to engage in the oppositescrew thereby reversing the traverse of'the guide m that is fixed on an extension of the rod on which the rocking bar is fitted, the first named ,inger sliding back on the top of the flange of the side bar, Various modifications of our invention by which other means are employed to raise the projections-may be made without departing-from the breadth of 'our conception.

The mechanism hereinbefore describedmay be placed or fitted in a box containing oil which is fixed to the frame of the machine,

one ormore being employed according to the length of the machine. 7

We are aware that it has been proposed to use in apparatus for winding bobbins or spools two right or two left hand screws, r0-

claim such an arrangement broadly, but,

We declare that what We claim is': y In combination with two parallel right. or

' left hand screws-rotating in-opfiosite-direc tions; a rocking .bar provided with meansht its ends to engage the screw threads,two

angular side bars adapted to keep 'one end,

Eating in opposite directions f or the purpose 1 of said rocking bar engaged W'ith'a screwand of causing to reciprocate a Carriage provided with a rocking lever carrying nut segments to engage with the screws and 'We denotmeans for rocking the bar; In testimony whereof we names t6 thiSQpecification, in the have signed our presence 15 AMES EDWARD BROADBEM. v JOSEPH BROAQBENT.
